Reader comment on item: Sudden Jihad Syndrome – It's Now Official

Submitted by Archimedes2 (Canada), Jan 8, 2008 at 20:19

My google search for "sudden jihad syndrome" picks up 60,000 hits. Either in a few days the number of uses has tripled, or you're much more discerning, Daniel, in what you consider a "citation".

In any case, yes, the term has caught on. It is more apt than some other terms that have unfortunate secondary meanings, like "Islamofascism" -- which has many more hits, but the majority of which appear to discuss the appropriateness of the name. I doubt many question the appropriateness of SJS, which is exactly what the name suggests.
